    I'm level 42 with my warlock sooooo....should I order the new expansion now or wait until after Christmas to order it?

    Depends on your money situation and whether you care about the pre-order buff.

    I'm not even sure what the pre-order buff is. What do I get if I pre-order?

    I look upon preorder as, okies maybe the bonus aint that great BUT would you rather miss out altogether!
    If you can afford it why bother even thinking about should I or shouldnt I, sadly my friend who couldnt afford the last expac whilst still in preorder stages in time missed out on her illusion altogether

    True but I'm not sure I can afford to pre-order. That's why I need to think it over.

    The pet does give 10% xp buff for all toons on adventuring, crafting and xp, so if it is a borderline decision and that puts you over the edge grab it, if it is no big deal than wait, that is the only item you are missing out on at level 42.

    If you can afford it comfortably and not put yourself in financial stress, than I would suggest pre-ordering. If money is tight and it will cause too much financial stress, I would wait until after Christmas.

    That's the problem. I just ordered some shirts for my brother for Christmas...spent a bit more than I intended so I probably will wait until after the first of the year. I won't be able to get anything but the standard edition.....but I hate missing the pet that is being offered....

    They offer the expansion preorder buff every year. You won't miss out if you don't mind waiting for the next pre-order. The Zelniak pet just offers stat upgrades and no special ability. The Jann Magi from Chaos Descending pre-order, however, offered a special "float" buff. Unless you really like the Zelniak pet model, don't sweat it....

    I appreciate the idea but I don't think using any type of credit card for this is a good one. I'm probably going to have to wait until after my SS comes in next month.

    Yes, I edited my comment because it's a high interest rate and may cause issues down the road.

    Yeah, you shouldn't sweat it. I'm not pre-ordering this year myself. I got the Jann Magi but they offer the buff every year.

    It really sucks living on SS....but that's life....

    I feel your pain Leloes.

    I'm glad someone understands. There are those folks who think that when one draws SS it's thousands of dollars a month. I wish it was.....I don't even get $800 a month.....

    No reason to buy the new expansion when you are at such a low level. The pre-order buff is designed to draw people in to buy it. The expansion is not live for a few more weeks.

    If you are taking your time to go through the better content of the game (or atleast it was once) then it will be a while before you get to max level where the new expansion is relevant. Enjoy the ride because the fun dwindles fast as you get to the top level.

    I agree with Arclite, if it will hurt you financially I would wait, at level 42 you have a long road ahead anyhow to get to max level. Unless of course you powerlevel your way through it. But if you are just enjoying the game and seeing the scenery. I wouldn't worry about it until next year some time.

    That's what I've decided to do. Right now I'm trying to get into Ro's temple on Lavastorm. I read the write up on it in the wiki and it said it was for a group. I'm going to give it a try anyways. I'm level 48 now so I think that if I can gain a few more levels I might be able to get to the guy I need to. I might be wrong but I'm going to give it a try.:D

    But the puppy bird dragon thing!!! :D

    I gave in and did a preorder just for it. It is insanely cute.
